The article explores the historical experience of climate responsive architecture in Yemen. The relevance of energy-efficient residential buildings for hot-dry regions in particular, and for all regions in general, is discussed in the article. Regional classification of architecture of Yemen is analyzed. Architectural planning solutions are discussed for residential buildings in Yemen based on the topography. The article delves into the climatic responsive design solutions for residential buildings in various regions. Purpose: The aim of this article is to analyze the historical experience of the architecture of Yemen for climate responsive (energy-efficient) residential buildings. Methodology: Analysis of the historical experience of energy-efficient architecture to identify suitable and modern methods for construction of energy-efficient residential buildings. Research findings: Based on the analysis, considered in the creation of comfortable housing and saving energy consumption in various areas throughout its lifespan and at the end of each month when residents settle their electricity bills. Practical implications: The proposed methods provide not only comfortable housing, but also preserve and protect the environment from damage caused by energy extraction, which, in turn, depletes energy resources, weakens state economy, and hinders the utilization of these resources for future generations.
